What Did 'Game of Thrones'' Daenerys Name Her Dragons? Get To Know The Beasts Before Season 4

By CASEY RACKHAM Apr 4 2014


DRAGONS. That's usually what fans say when they get super pumped up about Season 4 of Game of Thrones, which premieres on HBO on April 6. And it's totally understandable — they're freakin' dragons! But here's the thing: What do we even really know about these dragons? That they breathe fire? That they really like Daenerys? That Madonna likes to wear them when she plays dress up? There's so much more to Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal than their affinity for meat.

They're basically the most eligible dragons in all of the Seven Kingdoms — okay, they're the only dragons (that we know of) — and we think it's only fair that we delve into their lives a little bit. So it's time to play our own version of The Dating Game with three of GoT's finest "bachelors." After all, even dragons deserve love. (And if someone can make GoT dragon-inspired dipping sauces, then we can play The Dating Game.)

*It should be noted that most of the content in these dating profiles are completely fictional. We can't let George R. R. Martin come up with everything, now can we?

1. Drogon

Contestant number one comes all the way from the Dothraki Sea. He's the burliest of the bunch, and he's not one to back down from a challenge.

Name Origin: Named after Daenerys' late husband, Khal Drogo.

Appearance: Black and red colored scales and wings.

Q: Do you like to plan your dates?
A: Oh, I definitely like to call the shots. I wouldn't call myself controlling at all, but I like to know what's going on.

Q: What do you really dislike about dating?
A: The hemming and hawing. If you like each other, then you like each other, and you should just own up to it.

Q: Is it important to you that your friends approve of who you date?
A: Not at all. I know my heart will lead me in the right direction.

2. Viserion

Our second contestant today is ready to prove why he's the dragon to beat. He might think a little highly of himself at times, but he's sure to defend those he loves.

Name Origin: Named after Daenerys' sissy and pretentious brother, Viserys Targaryen.

Appearance: Cream and gold colored scales and red-orange wings.

Q: How important are looks to you?
A: Um, like, not to be an asshole, but looks are incredibly important.

Q: Do you think it's okay to cancel a date if you get a better offer?
A: Okay, I'm not that much of an asshole. That's just uncouth.

Q: Who do you think should pay for the first date?
A: Are you kidding? I'll definitely pay. I don't want them to think that I can't take care of myself.

3. Rhaegal

Our third contestant is the sweetest in the land... well, as far as dragons go. He's a mama's boy at heart, and he'll be the first to share his meat with you.

Name Origin: Named after Daenerys' other (and potentially more stoic) brother, Rhaegar Targaryen.

Appearance: Green and bronze colored scales and yellow-orange wings.

Q: Would you date someone your parents don't approve of?
A: OMG, never! My mom's the Mother of Dragons, for goodness sake! Plus, what she thinks means everything to me. Everything.

Q: Describe your perfect date.
A: Definitely lots of flowers. You can never have too many flowers. And as a bonus, they taste great when they're a little charred.

Q: Do you want to be in a committed relationship?
A: Only if she's up to my mom's standards.

And there you have it, folks. The best that the Seven Kingdoms has to offer. (But let's be real. Daenerys is never letting her babies go.)

I can't believe I've never realized that Drogon is named after Khal Drogo!

(I thought it was just a generic dragon name, like Fido is for dogs)

Since there are only two dragon riders, I think that one of the dragons will soon be a goner for sure, my bet is on Viserion. Daenerys will ride Drogon and Jon Snow will ride the one named after his father. But it would be interesting if Viserion turns out to be a female dragon and she lays eggs right before she kicks the bucket. And then we get more cute little dragons.

I think I smell a SPINOFF ! ! !

Tyrion will be riding Viserion. Their names rhyme.

reply

Maybe the book Tyrion would ride a dragon, but in the series nothing was ever mentioned about his dubious origin. If they bring it up now after all this time, that would be cheating.

reply

I don't know, they laid at least a little groundwork for his potential affinity with the dragons in that awesome scene where he walked in and unchained them.

reply

I suppose they could build upon that scene, but if they are gonna do it they should start now and not wait til the last moment.

reply

The Night King will be riding Viserion.
OOPS! Spoler alert!

reply

He would melt faster than an ice cube in a pot of boiling water.

reply

Ok. The Night King will kill and raise Viserion as an undead mount and then ride him.
Viserion will then breath blue flames instead of red.

reply

Also, this event has smth to do with the Wall falling by the end of season 7

reply

If these are real spoilers I may send the army of the dead after you when they're done with the Wall.

reply

We'll find out soon enough, won't we? :D :D :D

reply

If one of them dies it will be Viserion. Like her bitch brother.
